Jesus is the One who gives the world around us meaning and significance — so what we believe to be true about Him matters. This week, guest speaker and executive director of discipleship, Dave Bruskas, leads us through Colossians 1 to remind us that Jesus is not just a representation of God, but God Himself, and that should change everything for us.

We can't settle for a cheap version of Christianity that in no way compares with the price Christ was willing to pay for us. This week, Kylen Perry leads us through Exodus 33 to show us that if Jesus made a way for us to be with God, we have to prioritize seeking His presence.

Almost all frustration stems from unfulfilled expectations, but how do we react when faced with disappointment? This week, Tyler Moffett reminds us through 1 Kings 19 that zeal for the Lord does not imply a shallow pursuit when everything is going smoothly, but rather an energetic and unwavering commitment to God, even in times of trial.

Do you need to escape the comfort culture? In the Christian life, there are times when we voluntarily take on considerable costs for a considerable purpose.This week, Kylen Perry leads us through 2 Timothy 2 to remind us that a consecrated life is one that is uncommonly devoted.

Is your repentance genuine? This week, Kylen Perry walks through 2 Corinthians 7 and challenges us to think through the difference between godly grief and worldly grief. There is no real repentance without a dramatic removal of our sin and that all starts with a brokenness over it.

A conversation usually marked by division and shame is brought to the stage as we welcomed author and modern theologian, Brenna Blain, along with Kylen Perry and Timothy "TA" Ateek, to discuss what it looks like to have a Biblical perspective on our sexuality.

What if you went all in with Jesus? The world pulls you in a hundred different directions, promising that you'll finally find satisfaction, but we discover in Matthew 19 what happens when someone who has it all misses what matters most because he's been distracted by the temporary - which sounds pretty familiar.

The world gives a peace that is dependent on the perfect circumstances and quickly fades in the face of adversity. God gives us a peace that knows no bounds in situations that no one person could handle on their own. Last year at Launch Retreat, Granger Smith walks us through multiple passages in the Bible that all point to one truth — our only safe haven in the storms of life are found when we're saved by Jesus Christ.

Everything about our reality should shift when we're met by the King. In Matthew 21, we see Jesus clarify who He is and why that changes everything for us — if you let it.

Why do we keep inviting worry to the party when it never brings anything worth having? In Luke 12, we see Jesus offer not another Christian platitude telling us to stop stressing out, but a life-changing perspective on our anxious generation. Launch Retreat is BACK, and time might be relative, but consider your plans made for Labor Day weekend (8/30-9/1) 🙌 Learn more now and mark your calendars for the ticket drop on June 3: ThePorch.live/Launch
